The Kaempfer Lab is studying mRNA structure and function, translational control of eukaryotic gene expression, mRNA splicing and its control, the molecular biology of immunoregulation, especially post-transcriptional regulation of human cytokine gene expression, the role of interleukin-2 in the anti-tumor response in human cancer, and the molecular biology of T cell activation by superantigens during toxic shock.

The group is headed by Raymond Kaempfer, PhD; the Dr. Philip M. Marcus Professor of Molecular Biology and Cancer Research.
